To serve impoverished communities and families in Nicaragua. Our focus is on the families who live in or near the trash dumps near Managua and the family of God. Generations of families have earned their living sifting through others trash to find anything of value surrounded by fire smoke flies stench and filth. We would like to remove all of the children from this environment and break this cycle of poverty through education and training and to give these families the hope they need to build a better life for themselves their neighbors and their families. One of the ways that we work to do this is by raising up local Nicaraguans who want to build the Kingdom of God and serve the poor. We do this through discipleship and mission training schools.
To serve impoverished communities and children in Nicaragua. Our focus in on the families who live in or near the trash dumps near Managua. Generations of families have earned their "living" sifting through other's trash to find anything of value surrounded by fire, smoke, flies and stench.

| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| We have 22 children from the trash dump who attend private school, The Lighthouse Christian Academy, in Managua, Nicaragua. Several have earned top honors in their class for their grades and test scores. Several had lead roles in the school's plays and performances this year. The children meet at our safe house long before the sun rises, have breakfast together, pick up a lunch if needed and are transported across town to school. They are in school all day, and then have tutoring for 2 hours each evening. They have amazing dedication! We also have 2 more who will attend college this year, one in medical school and the other at the prestigious Univ. of Central America. These children have shattered the stereotypes and have brought hope into the trash dump that many people have never seen before. | $0 | $46,509 |
| Every week we take food and clean water to the 70+ workers in the trash dump. We have been able to build 2 new homes and repair several others. We have supplies powdered milk and baby supplies to about 3 dozen new moms, have provided on-going medical care to several families and have put shoes on every child's feet in the trash dump. In 2017, our dream is to build a daycare center in the trash dump to keep all the babies and toddlers from having to do to work in the trash dump with their parents. | $0 | $24,650 |
| Prison Mission, family counseling, animal rescue, church worship... | $0 | $16,442 |
| We have 2 safe houses. We have some temporary residents while their parents are working with our counselors, in prison or just may be able to be a better, caring parent after a break. Other children are with us permanently and come from a history of abuse, sex slavery and other unimaginable situations. It is a comfort for many children and women to know they have a safe place to go anytime they need it. | $0 | $10,440 |
